Question: What can I do about dog owners who do not pick up after their dogs?

Answer: There is an ordinance in the City of Somerville that states you must clean up after your dog. Many pet owners need to be educated in the proper methods of picking up after their dog. In order to enforce this ordinance in your neighborhood, it is best if you can get the address of the offender so that they can be easily located and informed of their responsibilities as a dog owner in Somerville. Please call Somerville Animal Control (dial 311) with any complaints.
